Did you know that Scotland has more than 400 words for "snow"🌨️❄️ Few people would call the Scottish poetic, but they sure are creative. When linguists from the University of Glasgow compiled the first Historical Glossary of Scots, one of Scotland's three official languages, they were blown away at the bountiful ways to express the concept of snow. Some of those words include "snaw" (snow), "feefle" (swirls of snow), and "flindrinkin" (a light snow shower). And that giant snowflake that fell in Montana—that would be called a "skelf." #DidYouKnow
